What about stuff that was featured on/comissioned by MTV's Liquid Television? If so:
The Adventures of Thomas and Nardo (by Mark Beyer and absolutely incredible: http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/697679/the-adventures-of-thomas-and-nardo-1-of-5.jhtml#id=1671923 )
Aeon Flux (the original shorts)

Oh I guess that counts as things commissioned for individual episodes of running TV series :(

Nominations up through this

Easy enough to remember that I stopped at Kung Fu Panda

A Town Called Panic [Panique au village] (2009)

^^^ this film is hilarious, is 75 minutes long, is streaming on Netflix, is Belgian, and features a vending machine that dispenses giant waffles, among other things. Watch it, vote for it.

(Nom-stanning is ok in this thread as usual I guess)

By the way rules addendum: no video game cutscenes.

while you're here, you got a call on movies that combine live action w animation (roger rabbit, mr limpet, etc)?

The lion the witch and the wardrobe

I OK'd Svankmajer's Alice; I really don't know how to feel about Roger Rabbit. Obviously many animators worked hard on the movie but many animators worked hard on Pirates of the Caribbean too. Let's say that Roger Rabbit and Mr. Limpet get in; I'll continue to case-by-case these based on seekrit algorithms.

xp to contendo

I'm trying to decide if End of Evangelion violates my rules on being just episodes of a series smushed together.

The Secret of Kells

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw2_HZTuQBE

^ o shit yeah. one of my favorite movies period.

I'm trying to decide if End of Evangelion violates my rules on being just episodes of a series smushed together.

i'd argue for the inclusion of EOE as a stand-alone work

i fucked that one up lol

someone did

is it worth nominating any of the futurama movies? I just rewatched bender's big score and thought, nah.

Un autre: Gandahar, aka Light Years, 1988, René Laloux. Same guy as Fantastic Planet, more traditional animation, more ideas, better story.

God, what am I thinking. Gantz Graf, Alex Rutterford, 2002.

http://youtu.be/AyJfHU4GoOQ

More (1998)

this is one of my favorites. Highly recommended viewing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnVf8we1kWc

8 Ball Bunny (1950)
http://youtu.be/VWTUntToZrM

Have You Got Any Castles? (1937)
http://youtu.be/P-RxoBs6UAc

You're an Education (1938)
http://youtu.be/a59e7VVyTTw

Slick Hare (1948)

Katknip Kollege (1936)
http://youtu.be/IXBkbw8AQm8

The Hep Cat (1942)
http://youtu.be/qKcTqJPFSbs

Any marvin the martian stuff nommed?

God, what am I thinking. Gantz Graf, Alex Rutterford, 2002.

One poll in which I will NOT vote for Autechre.

Maybe shouldn't be adding more Popeyes, as vote-splitting may render his chances of placing more minute, but I was watching last night and these are particularly fab:

Brotherly Love (1936)
http://youtu.be/pWGYDfijwDE

Bridge Ahoy (1936)
http://youtu.be/iE45kpSf5ws

Just watching Madagascar, 2005, Eric Darnell/Tom McGrath. If a panda can get a nomination then lemurs deserve one too imo.

Hmm it's pretty annoying tho

kung fu panda 2008 btw, not 2011. think that may've been the second one.

Just took kids to Madagascar 3 yesterday. It is not any kind of great, and I wouldn't nominate it much less vote for it, BUT it does have pretty amazing set pieces. Action scenes in digital animation these days can be pretty mindblowing.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

I am an unbiased poll administrator but that is a terrible movie.

It is not. Mike Mignola is incapable of producing anything of less than stellar quality, which reminds me:
The Amazing Screw-On Head (2006)

Hope it's eligible, it's a TV pilot of a series that never got picked up.

Nominations over!

Voting thread and updated nomination list mañana

Dang, I was gonna nominate:

Mindscape/Le Paysagiste (1976)
http://youtu.be/6Q9sY9Ti1DI

Gorgeous NFB Canada pinscreen animation. NFB probably underrepresented in general (did anyone nominate any Richard Condie?).
